Your Majesty, the Adorable Consort Wants a Hug

When she first entered the palace, the head palace matron bullied her. Liyang Jin put up with it.

The day before she was to meet the emperor, she was framed for no reason and sent to the Buddhist hall to reflect. Liyang Jin put up with that too.

When she was finally to meet the emperor again, she inexplicably came down with a cold and still wasn’t given the chance. Liyang Jin could take no more. She hid in a deserted palace and cried.

Why did the other women chosen in the same palace selection get away with everything, while every trouble seemed to come her way?

All she wanted was to live peacefully in the palace, but...

While reflecting in the Buddhist hall, she rescued a fox spirit who called himself Jiuxiang Jun. He followed her around, determined to teach her how to contend with the other consorts.

Crying in the deserted palace, she met a cold, handsome man who claimed to be a guard. His gentle consolation stirred her heart for the first time.

As she struggled to survive in the inner palace, Jiuxiang Jun helped her grow stronger step by step until she finally met the emperor. It turned out the guard was the emperor himself!

Now she truly wanted to win his attention, but...

The emperor she was infatuated with said nothing as she miscarried, bleeding all over the bed. The next day, he accused her of failing to protect the imperial heir, demoted her to the rank of Eighth-Class Lady by imperial decree, and ordered her to kneel and copy Buddhist scriptures in repentance before she had even recovered!

Her heart turned cold once more. She volunteered to leave the palace and attend to the Empress Dowager, but the emperor put aside his pride and came back to beg her forgiveness. Well, she had already fallen for the occasional tenderness of her young imperial husband, so she let herself be carried out on an eight-person sedan chair.

Who in the sedan chair would notice Jiuxiang Jun’s eyes, full of loneliness?

Only after she regained the emperor’s favor did she realize that none of it had been coincidence. Betrayal by sisters, schemes by the other consorts: what truth lay hidden behind the palace’s walls?
